A/N: Okay, it's been a while since I last look at this fanfic so it might take a while for me to get back into the swing of things, but I will try. A review from one of you guys made me think about a few things. Do you guys think I'm making the pups too powerful? Anyways, let's get on with the story shall we? Love you all very much. Please read and review and please check out my other stories.

'Where in the world is he?'

Kagome thought to herself as she walked through the palace trying to find Sesshomaru.

'Have you tried sensing his aura?'

Her beast asked and Kagome sighed.

'Several times and I can't find him anywhere. Damn it! The ceremony is about to start and his fluffy ass is missing.'

Kagome thought as she headed back towards the Great Hall where all the guests that were invited were waiting. She saw Jaken on her way and stopped him.

"Hai M'lady?"

He sqwaked as he bowed.

"Have you seen Sesshomaru? The ceremony is about to start and I can't find him anywhere.'

She said.

"Have you tried sensing his-"

"Yes. Did he say anything to you about going somehwere?"

Kagome asked and Jaken shook his head.

"I'm sorry M'lady, but Lord Sesshomaru didn't say anything to me."

"Well what the hell am I supposed to do now? He was the one who invited all these people. He was supposed to start the ceremony."

Kagome said getting angrier at her mate by the second.

"If I may be so bold M'lady, perhaps you should start the ceremony without Lord Sesshomaru."

Jaken said and Kagome thought about it for a moment before sighing.

"Alright fine, but when I see Sesshomaru I'm going to give his fluffy ass a piece of my mind."

Kagome said as she walked up the steps leading up to the raised platform. She walked out and everyone turned to look up at her. She took a deep breath before addressing them.

"My mate and I would like to welcome you all to this special occasion. We would like to announce the birth of our tree pups. Nami, Nala, and Loki."

Kagome said and her pups walked into the room and stopped in the middle. Everyone stepped back and formed a circle around them.

"Please enjoy yourselves and we ask that you remember to be hospitible towards everyone."

Kagome said stressing the last word when she saw several demons looking hungriliy at a couple of humans. They looked up at her when she said this and blushed in embarassment. Kagome nodded to everyone before stepping down and going to join her pups.

"You guys don't have to preform for a while. Mingle and meet with others, and try not to cause any trouble."

Kagome said before placing a kiss on each of their foreheads.

"Hai kaa-san."

They all said in unison before disappearing into the crowd. Kagome sighed before scanning the crowd for a familiar face. She spotted Kolki and the others lords and made her way towards them. She stopped when she heard someone talking to Dai about how disgraceful it was to allow humans to work in the castle.

"I don't think so."

Kagome said going to stand beside Dai who nodded his greeting and Kagome did the same.

"Oh, and who are you?"

The demon asked and Kagome smiled to herself. And here she thought everyone knew she was Sesshomaru's mate.

"Were you not paying attention earlier? I am Lord Sesshomaru's mate and mother to the pups who this celebration is being held for."

Kagome said without showing any emotion in her face and the demon immdeiately bowed low to her.

"My sincerest apologiez M'lady."

The demon said and Kagome couldn't help but laugh to herself.

"It's alright, you can stand back up. Now what was it you were talking about before I came up?"

Kagome asked pretending not to know.

"Oh, that's right. You said it was disgraceful to allow humans to work in the palace. See, that is where you are wrong. Humans are not disgraceful and neither is allowing them to work here in the palace. They work just as hard, if not harder than some of the demons on our staff. So I would appreciate it if you would keep your comments to yourself."

Kagome said and the demon bowed again mumbling an apology before leaving. Once the demon was out of earshot the lords erupted into laughter.

"Still the same as ever I see Kagome."

Kolki said and Kagome smiled.

"What? I don' t like it when people talk bad about others."

Kagome said innocently which made the lords laugh that much more.

"Where is your mate Kagome? Wasn't he supposed to announce the reasoning behind this gathering?"

Dai asked and Kagome groaned.

"He was, but his fluffy ass is nowhere to be found."

Kagome said crossing her arms. Dai laughed again before placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Perhaps he found something he had to do."

"That was more important than our pups celebration?"

Kagome asked and Dai didn't say anything.

"That's what I thought. If he doesn't show up in the next three minutes I'm going to hunt him down."

Kagome said and the other lords shuddered at the thought of what Sesshomaru would be up against if he didn't show up soon.

"Well then let's hope Sesshomaru shows up soon."

Sabura said and the other lords nodded. Kagome heard one of her favorite songs being played by the youkai band and wanted to dance, but was only reminded of her missin mate and growled in annoyance at his disappearance.

"Would you like to dance mama?"

A voice said from Kagome's left and she turned to see Shippou standing beside her with his hand held up in invitation. Kagome smiled down at her son and placed her hand in his. They walked out onto the dancefloor and started to move their feet to the music. Shippou turned Kagome and she stopped when she heard something.

"Lord Sesshomaru you're mate is busy with another, dance with me."

A very familiar voice said and Kagome growled as she spun back into her son's arms.

"What is it mama?"

Shippou asked as he dropped his arms and he and Kagome stopped dancing.

"Nothing, just an annoying bitch who desperately needs to learn her place."

Kagome said before walking off towards the sound of Sheimi's voice.

'Can we please just kill her?'

Kagome's beast asked and she thought about it, but sighed before answering.

'As much as I'd like to we can't.'

Kagome's beast growled in annoyance when Kagome walked out onto the balcony to see Sheimi hanging all over Sesshomaru who was trying to get away.

'But that doesn't mean we can't beat the living shit out of her.'

Kagome thought to her beast as her aura flared. Both turned to look at her and their eyes widened. Sesshomaru's because he was happy to finally be able to get away from Sheimi. Sheimi's with fear.

"W-what are you doing here? I thought you were dancing with that fox."

Sheimi said and Kagome's aura flared again with how Sheimi spat the word 'fox' as if it was a disease.

"That fox is my son and you will show him respect."

Kagome said walking up to the two of them. Sheimi took a step back and Sesshomaru just watched the two before him.

"I do believe I've told you once before Lady Sheimi..."

Kagome said as she reached and grabbed Sesshomaru's arm and pulled him over to her.

"Sesshomaru is my mate, not yours. You will do well to remember it. I beat you in the challenge, so stop trying to get his attention because you look pathetic."

Kagome said before turning and dragging a smirking Sesshomaru behind her back into the Great Hall. She didn't stop until the were on the dance floor. Kagome wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's neck and he placed his on her hips. They silently danced to the song currently playing while Kagome tried to reign in her raging aura.

"Did it upset you that much to see me with another?"

Sesshomaru asked and Kagome glared up at him.

"What do you think? We are mates are we not?"

Kagome asked as they continued to dance.

"Hai."

"Then I have a right to be upset."

"You do, but that is not the only thing you are upset about."

Sesshomaru said and Kagome sighed.

"Where were you Sesshy? You were supposed to announce this ball and you were nowhere. I had to do it all by myself."

Kagome said and looked down at her feet as they danced.

"I was on my way when I ran into Sheimi. I tried to get away, but I couldn't loose her. I tried to come in through the balcony and Sheimi stopped me when you showed up."

Sesshomaru said, then lifted Kagome's head so she was looking him in the eyes.

"I would never purposely leave you alone, in anything."

He said before placing a light kiss on her lips and Kagome's anger towards her mate melted away. When he pulled back Kagome smiled up at him and laid her head on his shoulder as they danced. The song ended and they walked over to join the other lords. They noticed immediately that Sesshomaru was still alive and that Kagome seemed to be in a much better mood. They smiled to themselves before waiting for Sesshomaru to announce that they could eat. After he gave his permission everyone dug in. After everyone had eaten and the servants had cleared away the food, Sesshomaru stood up.

oOoOoOo

"Now, my mate and my pups will preform for everyone present."

Sesshomaru said before nodding to his pups and Loki stood up and walked to the middle of the room. He nodded to Sesshomaru, Kagome, and the other lords before closing his eyes. His aura flared and as Sesshomaru watched two figures materialized on either side of his son. They were identical to him in every way. Sesshomaru watched as Loki crouched and drew the sword from his waist.

'Wait a minute, when did he get a sword?'

Sesshomaru wondered.

'Just watch.'

His beast ordered and Sesshomaru sighed to himself before going back to watching his son's preformance. Loki charged one of his clones and the dodged. Then the other tried to attack him from behind, but Loki turned in time to block the attack and send the clone flying into the crowd of watching youkai. The clone stood up and jumped back to the middle of the room. Then both clones circled Loki who watched their every move. Finally, both charged at him and he jumped out of the way making the clones collide with eachother. Loki landed behind them and spun with his sword, killing both clones. Sesshomaru watched along with everyone else as the clones disappeared in a cloud of emerald sparks. Loki sheathed his sword, bowed to the lords again, then sat down. As soon as Loki sat down Nala stood up and walked to the middle of the room. She too bowed to Sesshomaru and the others before closing her eyes and forming her poison whips. She spun and started a dance with her whips acting as amythest ribbons. Sesshomaru knew for a fact just how deadly those whips could be, and as he watched saw the beauty in his daughter's movements. The youkai watching shied away when Nala spun and her whips spread out over head. She jumped and spun, her whips spinning with her. She landed and her poison whips disappeared in a cloud of amythest sparks. She bowed to the lords again before going and sitting back down. Sesshomaru noticed that she too had a sword. He watched as Nami walked to the middle of the room and noticed the sword at her side as well. He turned to look at Kagome and noticed she was smiling.

'So they got the swords from her. But then where did she get them?'

Sesshomaru wondered as he watched Nami bow to him and the other lords. Nami closed her eyes and all the demons in the room felt the familiar tingle of miko powers coming from the youkai in the middle of the room and all except for Kagome were confused how this could be. Nami's body started to glow a ruby color before the glow shot from her body to the spot across from her. It grew in size until it was half as tall as Sesshomaru in his true form, then the ball of ruby energy formed into a shape. The shape of a ruby fox. Everyone turned to look back at Nami. She had her eyes open and sword drawn. She turned to look towards the entrance to the Great Hall and Sesshomaru and the others watched as two nekomata walked into the room. Sesshomaru recognized them as Zero and Kilala.

'What are they-'

'Will you just shut up and watch!'

Sesshomaru's beast snapped and Sesshomaru ignored him and went back to watching his daughter. Nami nodded to the two nekomata and they both transformed. Nami brought her hand up to her mouth and whisled. The fox ran towards her and she jumped. She landed on it's back and held on to it's neck as it ran around the small circle in the middle of the room. Zero and Kilala ran towards the fox and jumped on either side of it trying to get to Nami. The fox brought down it's paws and smacked Kilala back, but Zero managed to get close to Nami. She brought up her sword and blocked his claws. Then she kicked him and he went flying. Both Kilala and Zero got back up and flew into the air before charging at Nami. The fox dodged, jumped, and attacked both Zero and Kilala. When the fox didn't get them Nami would. Finally Kilala knocked Nami off the back of the fox and had her pinned down with her sword knocked out of her hands. Nami whistled again, but this time in a different pitch and the fox charged at Kilala and had her pinned down. Zero tried to help, but Nami knocked him out of the way. She walked up to Kilal who was pinned down and ran a hand through the ruby colored fox's spirit fur. Kilala mewled and turned her head to the side. Nami smiled and the giant fox disappeared in a shower of ruby sparks. Nami sheathed her sword and turned towards Sesshomaru and the others. She, along with Zero and Kilala, all bowed to them before going and sitting down.

Sesshomaru was too shocked by what he just saw to say anything, so Kagome stood up and did it for him.

"That concludes the preformances of our pups. Please enjoy yourselves and ahve a safe journey home."

Kagome said before grabbing Sesshomaru's hand and pulling him back out onto the dancefloor.

"So what did you think?"

Sesshomaru looked down at his mate and saw the look of pride in her blue-gray eyes.

"About?"

"Nami's preformance."

Kagome said as Sesshomaru spun her around.

"All our pups did a wonderful job."

Sesshomaru said and smirked when he heard Kagome's huff of annoyance.

"I take it you taught her that trick."

Sesshomaru said and Kagome smiled.

"I did. Though I never expected her to be able to control her spirit animal with something as simple as a whisle."

Kagome said and Sesshomaru smiled.

"You did well."

Sesshomaru said as he pulled Kagome in close as they danced.

"Our pups did well too."

Kagome said and Sesshomaru nodded.

"That they did."

Sesshomaru said as he danced with Kagome. They danced the rest of the night, then said farewell to their guests before heading to their room. Sesshomaru dressed down and crawled in the bed with his mate. He pulled her to his chest and closed his eyes.
